Emily: "how badly does the place need to be fixed up?" "it doesn't need to be fixed up, the place needs to be torn down."

BRENDA ALI SHOULD KNOW SHE LIVES HERE

"I'm praying we get the 50 million dollars."

YOU SEE CBS 12 HAS EXCLUSIVELY LEARNED THAT SOON BRENDA AND EVERYBODY THAT LIVES IN THIS NOW INFAMOUS LOW INCOME HOUSING PROJECT COULD FACE A NEW REALITY

"Fitness center, holistic center, daycare."

THAT'S LAUREL ROBINSON SHE SAYS SOON DUNBAR VILLAGE COULD BE GETTING 50 MILLION DOLLARS IN BOND MONEY FROM THE STATE TO FIX THE PLACE UP

Emily: "A lot of people might say why spend the money?"
"We had a terrible crime committed here but that doesn't wipe out 70 years of history for these low income folks."

"People don't want to live in sub par housing and we are going to replace it with a home anyone would be happy to live with."

THAT'S GREAT NEWS FOR RESIDENTS LIKE BRENDA ALI

"It would bring great joy to us."
